I'm refinishing my bathroom, got the ceiling drywall put up and taped. I was hoping to get someone in to do the waterproofing/tile for the shower, he'd told me he would start in December, haven't heard from him since.

I can't finish the ceiling until the shower waterproofing is done, so I guess I'm tackling that next. Annoying when contractors flake like that, but I'm capable, time to move on without him

She was still in the dark until the moment she gave birth and her baby girl was immediately taken away, said Harrison Stark, senior staff attorney at the ACLU. She had no idea that while she was in labor, hospital officials were relaying updates to the state — including details of her cervix dilation — and had won temporary custody of the fetus. At one point, the state sought a court order forcing the woman to undergo a cesarean section

That part is messed up, someone should know about losing custody long before it happens, I could believe maybe there's some justification about the unborn child being harmed if the mom knew?

But it doesn't seem weird to me for there to be a list of pregnant people they want to keep their eyes on. I have a co-worker who was visited by an agency before their first kid was born to check out his house and they made some recommendations. The reason he was on their radar is as a kid they had to intervene with his parents, so they wanted to be sure the cycle was broken. He's a great dad to 3 kids now and no issues, they're just doing their job

To me it makes total sense for them to identify and track potential problem parents

The footage shows a female student leaving the storage area at the school’s Future Farmers of America barn. The student was holding a syringe as she entered the goat pen, straddling the goat, and pushing the syringe into the animal’s mouth three times.

She left the barn but not before returning twice a day to take photos and a video, according to the Statesman.

Holy shit. Also not sure how I feel about publishing a 17 year-olds name so this haunts them forever, even if it is a fucked up thing to do

I'd totally forgotten about 12 monkeys. I had that VHS of this when I was 11 or 12 years old, I probably watched it 30 times and I never fully understood it. 25 years later I think it's time for me to rewatch this

 my microwave

I've put a note on my microwave to mute all beeps. I've made it very clear to my wife, in the event of my untimely death, she is to show her next husband how to turn off the beeping after a power outage.

It's just a little airborne, it's still good!

It's obvious clickbait, but no one is saying the game caused anything.

Just his buddy in a discord where they played among us saying "isn't that interesting, there really was a secret killer in this group that played a game about a secret killer"

So disappointed to learn this isn't real

Don't dehumanize any group of people and imply violence against them is ok.

I think I'm in the wrong place

Oh man I remember that controller. There was a little stick you could screw into the d-pad that was a bit of help for some games, but it was all pain after a while

Interesting story about a bit of a mean guy. Not too nice a fella, this rattlesnake

I've pulled them before with shovels and a farm jack, and it is a nightmare, dangerous too. Now we have machinery to do it, or a truck and chain, wouldn't do it manually any more
